Hello!
I wonder if anyone could identify this regiment please? The photo was taken on 12th July 1941 in Edinburgh.
Many thanks
Judy
Best wishes, Judy :-))

The badge on the sporran looks like Seaforth Highlanders, but we need the resident expert on these matters...atom12!
One more charge and then be dumb,
When the forts of Folly fall,
May the victors when they come
Find my body near the wall.

Have a wee look here:

Looks like scrimnet was spot on!

Hi Anne!!
Thank you very much for the link!
If you are interested, I put the photo on the Photo Restoration board and had 2 super replies - the colour one is particulary outstanding!
Take a look here -

Hi Judy
I wonder if your Seaforth Highlander could be a bandsman!
